Game Day AFC DRAFT DAY THREAD

[Reakts97]

https://www.afl.com.au/news/527252 looks like the clubs rated tt better than most people on big footy

 

[Deaneus!]

Norf took the wrong bloke, they needed McDonald, not Phillips

 

[Murray2503]

Well done Swans. Got yourself a very good player.

 

[ad victoriam]

Anyone else see Fox broadcast flash up “TRADE IS IN” when they were waiting for us to make our pick?

I saw it.

Yea Port traded down to pick 40 with Sydney

 

[Crowman32]

Cant see Himmelberg and thilthorpe in same forward line.

 

[Drewie11]

So down to Hollands and DGB for Hawthorn. Then we might actually have a chance at trading up to Gold Coast

 

[Damp Squarie]

Tex, Lynch, Himmelberg, Fog and now Thilthorpe. How does that work?

On SM-A205YN using BigFooty.com mobile app

Easy...get rid of Tex and Lynch.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Probably Hollands next and DGB to Gold Coast

 

[arsene wenger1]

Cal's Phantom has gone to sh*t in 3 picks ******* lol

Well he did pick McDonald to slide to 4

 

[Redleg Crow]

Thilthorpe's contested power, skills and athleticism > McDonald's work rate and WAFL goal kicking

Forwards that need space and delivery to win, fail in finals

Like a bloke who stands in front of packs

 

[BACCS]

 

[Jarman3]

THAT'S A BLOODY OUTRAGE, THAT IS.

 

[Bonkers000]

EH still on the board. Maybe his knee is worse than people on this board realize.

 

[Drewie11]

Cant see Himmelberg and thilthorpe in same forward line.

I can, great to have 2 tall forwards for 10 years hopefully

 

[King Elvis]

This is a key forwards draft, can’t pass on tall elite talent like Riley. Have you seen his highlights? How does that not get you excited?

Excited about the kid - but when is the last time we recruited a genuinely elite, or potentially elite, midfielder?

Especially considering we just gave arguably our best mid away for SFA.

Hamish is a knob. Why the hell do we want Thilthorpe along with Himmelberg and MCAsey in our starting 22 , how many guys do you want in the 22 in key positions that run like dinosaurs. Seriously Hamish needs to go he could have traded down to 6 and still got Thilthorpe.

I would really love to know the list development strategy of the AFC at present; because I really can't see it what it is.

That's a genuine question; there does not seem to be a consistent or planned approach to trade week (other Clubs strengthened themselves significantly, we weakened ourselves significantly) or the draft.

What is the plan?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

And Sydney grab McDonald. fu** off

I get the disappointment of not selecting a potential elite mid in Hollands but what does McDonald have that Thilthorpe doesn't?

 

[latinoheat]

Yeah I saw it

Anyone able to confirm what it was?

Port trade swap with swans

 

[ams4crows]

Yeah god forbid we take a 201cm dual sided, freak athlete with unbelievable ground level skills and contested ability.

I know, people have lost their minds if they don't think this kid is a great prospect

 

[FR0GGY]

Wow McDonald does look flat

 

[pjcrows]

Logan was not expecting to go to Sydney...

 

[Danger in Texas]

Cant see Himmelberg and thilthorpe in same forward line.

This is my concern

Himmelberg to defence?

 

[Peter Doherty]

Pleeease Hawks, take Denver!!

The dream of trading with GC, would be alive!

They need a Frawley replacement...

 

[GROTTO]

Logan was not expecting to go to Sydney...

Youre in WA and just been told your flying to other end of the country to play reserves. I would too.
